home fries

Cubed breakfast spuds

Home fries are a style of pan-fried potatoes served as a breakfast side dish, typically cut into chunks or slices and cooked with onions until crispy and browned.

Unlike hash browns, which are shredded, home fries retain distinct potato pieces: I'll have the eggs with home fries instead of toast.
